I must be hard on cables because we have gone through many.

Lots of idevices at home, office, car, backpacks, etc = lots of cables.

In general most only last a year at most - including apple products.

I have not purchased a brand yet - mostly from Amazon - that has been long lasting.

They are cheap. Buy a handful and throw them out when they die.

I think a factor in how long they last depends on if you use the phone while plugged in or not. Some folks who told me their cables never break, rarely use the phone while plugged in.
